What Guests Are Saying
Amphitheater Campground is highly praised for its stunning views, cleanliness, and friendly, helpful camp hosts who enhance the overall experience. While the campground features tight roads and small sites, making it less suitable for larger RVs, it is ideal for tents and smaller trailers. Some guests noted the need for bear boxes and improvements to the pit toilets, but many expressed their eagerness to return due to the beautiful setting and access to hiking trails.

We were greeted by our camp host, Dave, just as we arrived. He gave us detailed directions to find our campsite and was very helpful throughout our stay with suggestions for hikes and activities around the area. We felt welcomed and he was available for any questions we had. Our experience at Amphitheater campground couldn’t have been better!

The campground was a fantastic place to stay. Although there are no showers, the restrooms were VERY clean and stocked with toilet paper. The campground host was very nice and helpful. The location is right off of Million Dollar Highway overlooking Ouray. We saw lots of wildlife but thankfully no bears!

The hosts were amazing and the upkeep was top notch. I have never seen the hosts rake campsites between visitors. The hosts were also a wealth of knowledge and very present. The hosts did keep the pit toilets clean and placed airfreshner within, but because it is summer and many visitors, they did smell from time to time. My spot had amazing views and I would camp here again!

3 days 3 different sites due to being so crowded for July 4. Had a great time and the hosts help find me a site so we could stay on the 4th and watch the fireworks show.

We adore this campgrounds. Steve, the camp host, is friendly and welcoming. The bathrooms are primitive but clean. The views are stunning. There is so much to do around here-it’s a perfect family destination. And deer come through the campgrounds daily.
